      You’re Just a Number

      District sales leader
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Make your own schedule, autonomy on how you plan your month if you’re not living in an area being micromanaged by your ZSL -Pay is great if you’re a college grad from a low-income family -Medical benefits (kinda, if you’ve never had medical insurance then it’s fantastic)

      Cons

      -No work-life balance, despite the company preaching this. I’m serious, say goodbye to your weekends, holidays, afternoons, and vacations. -Lies about short-term relocation -EVERYTHING is a top priority -Expected to consistently beat your numbers from last year despite continuous low product supply and high sales plans -Company policies demoralize the front line which makes your job even more miserable -Everything is your fault never anyone else’s -Upper management very blind and ignorant about issues with DSLs and frontline teams -Your personal problems do not affect them and no one cares about you enough. Only if it affects your performance. -Key account managers make job harder for us while they sit at home doing nothing. -Unrealistic job expectations -Walmart sucks to work with -Say goodbye to your happiness -NO diversity at all whatsoever. If you’re a POC, you’re not getting promoted. Even if you’re top performing.

      Pros

      Salary was above average. Good benefits

      Cons

      Hi everyone, Please read this review carefully. If you read all of these reviews on this position, you will see a common theme of the Cons being “no work life balance.” Ladies and gentlemen, that is absolutely right. I made the mistake of joining right after college because I was so infatuated with the money and earning that amount at such a young age. However, many people are very brainwashed by this whole idea of “the grind”. I’m all here for working hard. But let me tell you this company does not care for its people. This position is a 24/7 position where you have to have your phone on just in case you get a calloff from one of your employees and fighting fires. You will be drained and tired. You will be forced to deal with physical labor that can be as long as 14 hour days, like running a route. You will be forced to work in bad neighborhoods at least for a short period of time. It is not safe period.

      Performance pay

      Rsr
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Performance pay is the worse system. The company now takes advantage of the workers by giving high sales plan, that’s unachievable so they control the money you make. If you run 75%-89% to plan, you get paid the same thing. So there is no incentive to run 89%, so many RSR’s will intentionally run 75%, because they get paid the same thing. Then management gets upset with you, but wants to run 89% but get paid as if they ran 75%. Frito lay is not compensating for the work you do, they pocket free sales (if you run 89%, you literally Miss plan by 11% but you get paid as if you ran 75%, which is missing plan by 25%, thats 14% of sales Frito May is pocketing) and to me it seems illegal. Now I’m hearing about this blue print, which will cut more routes and force many to become merchandisers, which will have many taking a 20-30K paycut.

      Cons

      Everything listed above breaks down my complaints.
